Abstract

A hopple for developing a trotting gait for horses which includes two sets of diagonally disposed hopple loops which encircle a horse's legs and which are connected so as to fetter the horse's legs diagonally through a motion transfer assembly mounted beneath the horse's belly and which assembly permits the front and rear legs of the horse to be linearly restrained so that the legs are diagonally fettered without the imposition of lateral stress.
